As a way of getting used to using a mill and lathe I'm working my way through Harold's book on sharpening tools by making the items in it.
I've checked and rechecked the parts against the drawings and my collet draw bar still sticks out the end so it would never pull in the collet.
I've tried searching through the forum to see if the subject has been broached before without any luck.
Has anybody had a similar problem?
